Representative Bill Ramos has spent his time in the legislature reaching across the aisle to invest in safe and healthy communities, prioritize affordability, and deliver transportation solutions here at home and across our state. 

 

Before Bill was elected to the state legislature, he served on the Issaquah City Council and on Issaquah’s Commissions for Economic Vitality, Planning and Policy Commission, and Human Services.

 

From 2005 to 2013, Bill worked for the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as a Community Planner with emphasis on developing and managing the Tribal Transit Program and Rural and Small Urban Area Transit Systems. As Federal Tribal Liaison, he worked with 56 Tribes in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Alaska to help start or improve public transit on Tribal Lands.
